From 78d77df71510a96e042de7ba6dbd7998103642cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Thu, 2 May 2013 10:33:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86-64, init: Do not set NX bits on non-NX capable hardware MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit During early init, we would incorrectly set the NX bit even if the NX feature was not supported. Instead, only set this bit if NX is actually available and enabled. We already do very early detection of the NX bit to enable it in EFER, this simply extends this detection to the early page table mask. Reported-by: Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao Signed-off-by: H.
